Overgrazing strongly impedes the natural regeneration of the endemic Boswellia species on Socotra Island
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)Frankincense trees (Boswellia spp.) worldwide are affected by a number of threats, including global warming and changing land management practices. On the Socotra Archipelago (Yemen), which harbours eleven endemic Boswellia ... -
Overwinter Storage of European Beech and Norway Spruce Planting Stock: Effect of Different Methods and Temperature Conditions
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)The aim of this research was to compare methods of overwinter storage of forest tree species planting stock and to specify of the optimal and the minimal temperature for freezing. Planting stock of European beech and Norway ... -
The palaeoclimatic potential of recent oak tree-ring width chronologies from southwest Ukraine
(Elsevier GmbH, Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH, 2024)Better insights into spatio-temporal climate signals are needed to understand more clearly the applicability to palaeoclimatic analysis and dendrochronological dating of the long tree-ring oak chronologies currently being ... -
Partial asynchrony of coniferous forest carbon sources and sinks at the intra-annual time scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation to woody biomass remains poorly understood, leaving ... -
Patterns of Ips cembrae (Herr) infestation on trap and standing trees of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.)
(Northeast Forestry University, 2023)The large larch beetle, Ips cembrae, is a significant pest causing the death of larch. In 2020, the attack density of I. cembrae on larch trap trees and standing trees was evaluated using sample sections placed along the ... -
Perception of Locals on Multiple Contributions of NTFPs to the Livelihoods of Forest Fringe Communities in Ghana
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Forest-dwelling residents frequently collect non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for various reasons, such as food, medicine, firewood, religious reasons, or handicrafts. This study examines the multiple benefits derived ... -
Phylogeography, origin and population structure of the self-fertile emerging plant pathogen Phytophthora pseudosyringae
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)Phytophthora pseudosyringae is a self-fertile pathogen of woody plants, particularly associated with tree species from the genera Fagus, Notholithocarpus, Nothofagus and Quercus, which is found across Europe and in parts ... -
Physical Properties of Silver Fir (Abies alba L.) Wood Cladding Modified by Traditional Japanese Charring Method
(North Carolina State University, 2023)Silver fir (Abies alba L.) wood samples were charred on one surface using an enhanced version of the traditional Japanese Yakisugi method. The 15 charred boards obtained from five charring chimneys were divided into three ... -
Physical-Mechanical Properties of Peat Moss (Sphagnum) Insulation Panels with Bio-Based Adhesives
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Rising energy and raw material prices, dwindling resources, increased recycling, and the need for sustainable management have led to growth in the smart materials sector. In recent years, the importance and diversity of ... -
Phytophthora, Nothophytophthora and Halophytophthora diversity in rivers, streams and riparian alder ecosystems of Central Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023)Waterways are ideal pathways for Phytophthora dispersal and potential introduction to terrestrial ecosystems. While many Phytophthora species from phylogenetic clades 6, 9 and 10 are predominant oomycetes in watercourses ... -
Plastic deformation assessment of sawdust-rPET composites under bending load
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Due to the scarcity of raw wood materials and the current state of the market's economic growth, the development of novel composite materials utilizing alternate raw material sources is crucial. Sawdust and waste polymers, ... -
Population dynamics of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) in Central European forest clearings
(Springer New York, 2023)The population dynamics of shrews (Soricidae) are not well known even though they form an important part of forest ecosystems and represent suitable bioindicators of ecosystem quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
Predicted occurrence of ancient coppice woodlands in the Czech Republic
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2017)Coppicing started in the Neolithic period and has been practiced throughout European history. This traditional silvicultural system was abandoned in many European countries during the 20th century. The Czech Republic now ... -
Production and soil restoration effect of pioneer tree species in a region of allochthonous Norway spruce dieback
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2017)The paper analyses the growth, structure, production and soil chemistry of different tree species stands 20 years after allochthonous spruce dieback. The experiment was carried out at lower altitudes (300 m a.s.l.) at rich ... -
